About this map

The Columbia River serves as the focal point of this 2014 survey, where the borders of Oregon and Washington meet at the Umatilla Bridge. The landscape is dominated by the managed waters of Lake Umatilla and Lake Wallula, separated by the massive infrastructure at North McNary. This area is a critical junction for regional transport and water management, evidenced by the complex network of the Brownell Ditch, W Extension Irrigation Canal, and numerous laterals including the OA Lateral and OB Lateral.

Settlement patterns follow the riverbanks and highway corridors, from the established streets of Umatilla to smaller communities like Power City, McNary, and Charlestown. Local history is anchored by the Pioneer Memorial Cem near the town center and the Sunset Hills Cem to the south. The terrain varies from the flat river valley to prominent landmarks such as Sillusi Butte, Umatilla Butte, and the deep cuts of Taylor Canyon and Straub Canyon to the north.
